Surprise Socials: International people

Join us for the Wetherspoon Saturday Social – a relaxed weekend gathering with good coffee, tasty pub food, warm conversation, and a welcoming vibe. Whether you're popping in for a light lunch, an afternoon tea, or something stronger later on, this is a great way to ease into your Saturday.

We meet at Shakespeare’s Head (Wetherspoon) near Holborn, a spacious and friendly pub perfect for conversation. The focus is on good atmosphere and casual chat – the drinks are great value, but you’re just as welcome with a coffee or meal.

👥 Who comes? A mix of friendly locals and international guests – people from all walks of life and countries, sharing stories and laughs. It’s an easygoing, social crowd of adults of all ages.

🪑 How to join in:
Just show up, grab a drink or food, and start chatting – most people come solo, so don’t worry about walking in alone. If it’s your first time, you’re welcome to sit near the host (we’ll post the table number), and we’ll gladly introduce you to others to help you settle in. The vibe is informal – just act as if you’ve known everyone for a while and it all flows from there.

💬 Tips:

• Arriving on time helps you meet more people – the best conversations often start early.

We’re looking forward to meeting you — the real value of these events comes from the people who attend, and there’s always a good conversation to be had. Please remember to check the chat section on the day; I’ll post the table number there as soon as I arrive so you know where to find me.
